Curricular Initiatives: Whitehead School of Diplomacy and International Relations

In 2008, the Whitehead School of Diplomacy, in preparation for its first regular Program Review, conducted surveys and focus groups with enrolled students, and surveyed alumni, on a variety of topics.  Results confirmed that the recently revised undergraduate and graduate curricula were generally meeting student needs in acquiring research, analytical, writing, and oral communication skills. One of the most striking patterns was dissatisfaction with career and internship advisement, which led the School to enhance its office of Internships and Career Development.
